What’s your heat source? And is it regulated?

Looks to me (also) like it could be a thermal "burn" from heat source that is either not regulated or not regulated properly. Burns are painful & can do serious harm to your snake...please double-check your husbandry
right away for his safety.

What are you using for a heat source, how is it regulated and where are you taking your temperatures from?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8e25cde264.jpg

It could be early signs of shed. It typically comes in more uniform, so the whole belly goes pink. But I have seen my snakes with little blotches like that and within a day or two they were all pink and starting a shed.

he just shed last week

Ok, just thought I'd mention it since it hadn't been yet. But we can rule that out now.
